Weekly run-down

I made a decision a while back to work on getting my pace down. I’ve been comfy at 9:30 for a while, it’s really become my easy pace. My body automatically goes there. So, I’ve been trying to break that since I want to break a 1:45 half this year. It may just be my […]

The last week was a blur, I’m not even sure I remember everything. Let’s start with the easy stuff: training. Recent posts you might have missed: Rock n’ Roll Dallas half recap The perfect time to train for a marathon Training last week: Sunday: RnR Half Marathon Monday: Rest Tuesday: Track, 12×400, 200 recovery, 7 […]

Weekly run-down

Last week was busy! Ally started middle school track. They only have 4 meets. The first one got snowed out and the second one almost got rained out. The field events did get cancelled. This week is the district qualifier, I’m not sure how that works since there haven’t been any field events so far. […]

Last week was finally a full week of running and getting to the gym. No snow, no ice, not much sunshine either. But hey, we need the rain. It’s sunny here today though! Training last week: Sunday: Gym day Monday: Rest day Tuesday: Track, 4×1 mile repeats, 8 miles including warm up and cool down, […]

Weekly run-down

I’m holding out hope that this week will be a regular run week for me. The last several weeks have been short because of weather. Texas has lost it! Training last week: Sunday: 10 miles. This is a funny story. We ran at 4:30 in the afternoon! Monday: Rest day Tuesday: Track, 12×400 with 400 […]

Weekly run-down

Guess how many miles I ran last week? Zero. It was a planned rest week and the good Lord agreed when he sent the ice, snow, rain and plummeting temperatures. I did make it to the gym. (some) Sunday: Rain, then the ice moved in. Monday: Ice. Tuesday: Still ice. I did go to work for […]

Weekly run-down

A day late, I know it. We are experiencing #IceMageddon2015 around here and I was distracted by Netflix yesterday. Remeber #IceMageddon2013 when the Dallas Marathon was cancelled? Here’s a good read if you missed it. That storm was way worse than what we have now. Training last week: Sunday: Gym day, did all kinds of […]

Week in review and it’s almost vacation time!

This week got mighty warm here…but we got that miracle end-of-June cold front today and it’ll be a chilly 66 in the morning. I can’t wait! This week was a little less active than the last few weeks. I took off from the track workouts while Ally is gone to let my body rest. I […]

Weekly recap!

We had a good week. Ally went to VBS then participated in a mission project on Friday. She’s (almost) all packed and ready to go visit her cousin. We are putting her on a plane tomorrow, she’ll be gone 12 days! She is so excited! I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do. I’m […]

Weekly Recap!

Nothing too exciting this week. It was our first full week of not having to get up for school (I still have to work). On my day off this week Ally and I had eye doctor appointments (I’m still blind), had lunch, did a little shopping and went swimming with some friends. I told her […]
